Peace, or "shalom" in Hebrew, signifies not just the absence of conflict but a state of wholeness and well-being. In the biblical context, peace is often associated with God's presence and blessing. The lack of peace here suggests a separation from God, highlighting the consequences of sin and rebellion. This absence of peace is a stark contrast to the peace promised to the righteous, as seen in <a href="/isaiah/26-3.htm">Isaiah 26:3</a>, where God keeps in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast because they trust in Him.<p><b>says my God,</b><br>The use of "my God" personalizes the message, indicating a direct communication from God through the prophet Isaiah. This phrase underscores the authority and certainty of the statement. It reflects the covenant relationship between God and His people, where God is both a personal and sovereign deity. The possessive "my" also emphasizes the prophet's personal relationship with God, reinforcing the authenticity and divine origin of the message.<p><b>“for the wicked.”</b><br>The term "wicked" refers to those who live in opposition to God's laws and commands. In the Old Testament, wickedness is often associated with idolatry, injustice, and moral corruption. The wicked are contrasted with the righteous, who live according to God's will. This distinction is a common theme throughout the Psalms and Proverbs, where the fate of the wicked is often depicted as one of destruction and turmoil (e.g., <a href="/psalms/1-4.htm">Psalm 1:4-6</a>). The absence of peace for the wicked serves as a warning and a call to repentance, aligning with the prophetic tradition of urging Israel to return to God. This phrase also foreshadows the ultimate judgment and separation from God that the wicked will face, as seen in the New Testament teachings on eternal consequences for sin (e.g., <a href="/matthew/25-46.htm">Matthew 25:46</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/i/isaiah.htm">Isaiah</a></b><br>A major prophet in the Old Testament, Isaiah's ministry spanned the reigns of several kings of Judah.
